Life and works

He became a professor in the Academy of Ghent and developed into an eminent painter of landscapes, marine subjects, winter scenes, views of the interiors of cities, and cathedrals. His most esteemed pictures are his views of cities and winter scenes; and during the latter part of his career he confined his talents almost exclusively to the representation of such subjects.

His pencilling was delicate; and in this respect he may be considered as belonging to the Dutch school. His pictures are numerous and varied, and are to be found in the cabinets of Belgium, Holland, and the north of France. He also engraved a collection of landscapes, several of which are after Hobbema.

Among his works, which show great minuteness of detail, are:

  • Brussels. Museum. View at Bruges and View from Pont Neuf, Ghent.
  • Ghent. Academy. Abbey of St. Pierre, Ghent and Winter view of Ghent.
